Local Animal Rescue Featured on Animal Planet
Kendalia, TX – Tuesday, June 24, 2008
– Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation (WRR) in Kendalia
is the star of Animal Planet's new reality series, My New
Wild Life. WRR is one of the leading wildlife rehabilitation
facilities and sanctuaries in the country, and Central Texans
should be proud to see a home town hero featured on national
television.
The show airs Monday–Friday beginning
June 30 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time.
The series takes a close look at wildlife,
their too-often debilitating encounters with humans, and the
compassionate people who nurse them back to health. New Interns
Kirsten and Jordan experienced the joys and sorrows of caring
for wild and domesticated animals here at WRR's sanctuary.
They fed orphaned infant mammals, cared for primates in sanctuary,
and tended to the farmed animals here at our Do
No Harm Farm, learning firsthand what it truly takes to
care for animals.
WRR's animal care and administrative staff
were thoroughly involved during the 8-weeks our production
crew was on site filming. Great time and resources were invested
in making sure that Animal Planet would get the footage they
needed to make an exciting and popular series that represented
WRR and all that we do for the animals.

About Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation
Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation (WRR)
(www.wildlife-rescue.org)
was founded in 1977 in San Antonio by Lynn Cuny. Our mission
is to provide rescue, rehabilitation, and release of orphaned,
injured, and displaced wildlife, and provide sanctuary with
dignity for non-releasable and non-native wild animals who
have been the victims of the exotic pet trade, rescued from
roadside zoos, or used in research. Today WRR volunteers and
staff annually receive 5,000–6,000 animals at our 187-acre
sanctuary outside Kendalia, Texas. Over 600 wild and farmed
animals make their permanent home at WRR.
